6 years ago Can confirm this on python 3.6 and windows 7 and lxml 4.1.1, which is different to the one in the requirements and the current bitbucket site.
As lot's has changes since this code was written, I suggest you try a different code to start of from all together, or use a different scraper, say beautiful soup.
